MWL Condemns Israeli Expansionism in Syria

IQNA – The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly denounced the Zionist regime’s move to expand its occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights.

In a statement, the MWL slammed the recent decisions by the Israeli regime’s cabinet about the Golan, Al-Arabi al-Jadid reported.

It underlined the need to respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The statement also called for global condemnation of Israel’s expansionist measures that threaten the opportunity for restoration of security and stability to Syria.

Several Arab countries have also condemned a new controversial project by the Israeli regime to expand its illegal settlements in the occupied Golan Heights, expressing their support for Syria’s sovereignty over the mountainous area.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq and the UAE denounced Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s $11 million plan to double the population in the occupied Golan on Sunday, after the scheme received unanimous approval from the regime’s cabinet.

In 1967, Israel waged a full-scale war against Arab territories, during which it occupied a large swathe of Golan and annexed it four years later – a move never recognized by the international community.

Israel started its push to grab more Syrian land on December 8, after foreign-backed militants led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) announced the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government following a rapid two-week onslaught.

The Israeli regime’s warplanes also conducted hundreds of aerial assaults on Syria in violation of international law.

Israel’s exploitation of the current chaotic situation in Syria to invade and occupy the country has sparked a wave of condemnations.
